N. C. BURNAP, 0F ARGUSVILLE, NEW YORK.

Letters Patent No. 67,717, dated August 13, 1867.

IMPROVED MILK-COOLER.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be itknown that I, N. C. BURNAP, of Argusville, in the county of Schoharie, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Milk-Cooler; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification. I

This invention relates to an improved milk-cooler, and consists in a receptacle, inserted in the middle of the milk-can, to receive ice or cold water. It is intended to be used while the milk is straining, which is thus cooled by the time the can is. filled. In the accompanying drawings-- Figure 1 is a vertical section, and

Figure 2 a top view, with cover removed, of my improved cooler in place in the can.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the milk-can; a, the handles thereof; B, the cooler, consisting of a cylindrical vessel standing in the can, and I prefer placing it in the centre thereof; The cooler reaches nearly to the top of the can, and is sup-' ported in place by the braces 11 b b. C is the cover of the can, fitting tightly to its inside and upon the cooler B and having handles 0 c, flanges d d, and a tube, e, fitted into it and entering the cooler B. Through this tube cold water may be supplied to the cooler, or the water in the cooler withdrawn and fresh water introduced.

Or the cover C may be removed for either of the above purposes and cold water placed in the cooler. The,

cover C fits closely in the can upon the cooler, and the tube 0' being plugged or stopped by the stopper P, the can may be carried without any fear of the milk or water spilling.

By the use of my cooler the milk is cooled almost as soon as the can is filled, and may be at once carted off without any fear of deteriorating the cheese-making properties of the milk.

I do not confine myself to any particular form or shape of can or cooler, though the form shown in the drawings is that which I prefer to use for milk-cans; for cheese-vats I should prefer a different shape of cooler. The cooler may be made as a separate apparatus removable from the can or vat, or it may be fixed irremovahly therein.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Paten-t 1. The cooler B, when held in position within the can A, by means of the horizontal radial arms 5, substantially as described for thepu'rpo'se specified.

2. The cover 0, supported upon the cooler B, having the tube 0 extending within such cooler, and with its flanges d fitting tightly within the cam, substantially as described for-the purpose specified.

N. O. BURNAP.
